Life's goal?

I've been home sick today, and during the brief periods of consciousness, I've been catching up on The Devil's Panties. And I ran across this.

Life's goal? Life has a goal? There are things I want to do in my life. There are even some without which I may feel less than complete, or like I've failed in my duty. Not that I don't have goals. Just that there's no one thing that life leads to, no single thing I'm holding out for. After all, isn't life . . .

. . . a journey?
